Karianna doesn't have to think long to decide how she will fight Malevente, an evil magician who has vowed to take control of the world. She knows that the only one capable of stopping him is the Emerald Dragon. There is only one problem: The dragon has not been seen in years. Some wonder whether the creature even exists, but Karianna remembers her mother speaking about the creature as a child. The dragon had saved her village from a band of outlaws, displaying tremendous powers. Now, Karianna must journey across an unknown land as she searches for the dragon's hiding place. Along the way, she meets Tyatu, another warrior trying to find the elusive creature. But they aren't the only ones looking. Malevente knows that if he finds the dragon first and steals its powers, he will be invincible. As Karianna journeys with Tyatu, she learns secrets not only about the Emerald Dragon but herself as well. She must understand what they mean and fast if she has any hope of defeating the evil magician and succeeding in her Quest for the Emerald Dragon.

Japan has produced thousands of intriguing video games. But not all of them were released outside of the country, especially not in the 1980s and 90s. While a few of these titles have since been documented by the English-speaking video game community, a huge proportion of this output is unknown beyond Japan (and even, in some cases, within it). Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Japanese Video Game Obscurities seeks to catalogue many of these titles – games that are weird, compelling, cool or historically important. The selections represent a large number of genres – platformers, shoot-em-ups, role-playing games, adventure games – across nearly four decades of gaming on arcade, computer and console platforms. Featuring the work of giants like Nintendo, Sega, Namco and Konami alongside that of long-forgotten developers and publishers, even those well versed in Japanese gaming culture are bound to learn something new.
